        So you have a preference. However, apart from similarily bague
 ``forward moving'' vs ``step back'' arguments, you have said little
 about this proposal -- certainly little that can be classified as a
 technical flaw.

        And yet, you are moving to close all debate on this issue!!!

        Look, people, the guidelines call for a *vote* on
 disagreement, and ask for a 75% supermajority. Thus the expectation
 was that, at least theoretically, motions could pass with as much as
 24% of the people disagreeing. Yet if everyone keeps jumping in with
 technical objections, and grinding all progress on this forum down by
 having all proposals killed, I think we need to come up with some
 changes. 

        Firstly, one needs to emhpasize that formal objections are
 only to be used as a means of last resort, and then only if
 all other means of reconcilliation have been exhausted. Disagreeing
 with a proposal should not be enough. 

        I was hoping we don't have to disallow formal objections, or
 to restrict them to fatal technical flaws in the proposal, but if
 people are going to frivoulously kill all discussons and votes with
 them, something has to change.

        manoj
 hoping that some of the recent objections shall be withdrawn on their own

 I would like the government to do all it can to mitigate, then, in
 understanding, in mutuality of interest, in concern for the common
 good, our tasks will be solved. Warren G. Harding
